Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a U.S. federal holiday dedicated to honoring and remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Its origins trace back to the years following the Civil War, a conflict that claimed more American lives than any other.
Originally known as Decoration Day, it was established in the late 1860s as a time to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers.
Over time, the holiday evolved to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in all U.S. wars.
